I started a weight loss journey on started May 17th, 2011. Each week I thought I’d weigh in and let y’all know how I was doing. By week 6 I stopped recording… because by week 8 I wasn’t losing weight or actively trying. BUT, wouldn’t you know it, I’ve started to try again. And I’m down to 299lbs. (started at 324). This is a large milestone and is very motivating. I haven’t been under 300lbs. since 2005 when I picked up running for a few months. I feel like I am finally doing the right thing.

Last time I actively tried losing weight, I just went with exercise. Which is good, but was hard to maintain. I truly don’t want to make time for exercise. I feel my time is better spent elsewhere… at this point in my life. I can’t make a habit of it. Hopefully someday that will change. In the meantime, I have effectively been changing my diet. Less carbs, more fiber and more fruits and vegetables in general. That is it. I’ve started this about 6 or 7 weeks ago and have lost 15 pounds… without sacrificing time to exercise. ~2 pounds a week. That is pretty amazing. So, I’m going to keep at it and see how it goes.

Hi there, just saw you on the tiny house map. It’s awesome to see someone in our area building a tiny house on wheels! It’s my hope to build one in the near future. Our ten year old want to try for a homeschool project.
Great job so far! and congrats getting your weight going down, keep it up!

I hope you have already achieved your weight goal by now or at least still losing weight. I understand it can be completely difficult but as long as you have an inspiration or determination then you’ll achieve your goal in no time. Keep up the good work! I agree with more fiber!
